Here
is a macro that will reassign your views F9-F12 to match your current work
plane. I use this all the time
when working on different sides of a part. I have noticed that on my box sometimes
SmartCam will give me a Dr Watson if I use the macro and then try to show cut
before I enter any other commands.
My advice is to save your work before trying the macro until you get a
feel for how it works on your computer.

view?
This is
what I do when I import an IGS file and find that they're
not in
the view that I want to work on.
Do a
Utility, Display Modes and turn on your Work Plane
Indicator.
Then
select all the geometry and do a Ctrl & R or Edit,
Transform
Rotate.
In the Rotate panel select 3D Axis, then select the axis
button
that you want to rotate the part.
I
generally have my rotate angle set to 90 degrees before I
click
the Go
button.
Once I
got the part in my F9 top view I then change the work plane
to
XY_PLANE using Alt & F5 Work Plane Property Change.

Tom,
Is there a way we can
translate and rotate from one view to another in Smartcam?
Cause I got this part
that came in at a weird view and I like to translate and rotate it to a top
view.
Thank
you,
Jay

Jay,
If I
understand your question;
Select All (middle mouse button or group
pallet)
Edit,
Transform,
Rotate (check suppress planes),
Rotate the work piece to the right orientation,
Move (no copies, move
to where you want it i.e. "xyz zero"),
View , Top
View, Full
View,
Name View
"Top" or "Top Full"
